Our favorite musical show is going to end, and we can't help it, but we're a little heartbroken. Sure it was never the same after half the cast graduated, but we still have so many fond memories of the first few seasons! We decided to list 15 reasons we will miss Glee to give it a proper send off.

"It's like putting every family member and friend that you've ever loved and then you have to say goodbye to them and put them all in front of you at once." Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz on the tearful last scenes of the show, during which cast and crew from the past six years were brought in to say goodbye to the regulars.

"I've already asked Jenna (Ushkowitz) if I could fit it into her car because she has a bigger car than I do... It doesn't really fold (and) it's cumbersome, but I was like, 'I am definitely taking it. I'm taking the wheels off, I'm putting it in your car and then leaving and never talking about it again'." Actor Kevin Mchale is planning to grab his character's wheelchair when Glee wraps filming.

The producers of Glee have been sued by a shopper who allegedly tripped over cables while the TV series was filming in a California mall.
In the lawsuit, Yolando Rosario claims she was shopping at Burbank Town Center in November (13) when she fell over wiring which had been set up by the 20th Century Fox crew in a walkway open to regular shoppers. In the paperwork, obtained by TMZ.com, Rosario states that she broke her arm and a rib in the fall and is suing bosses at the Fox network and the owners of the mall for unspecified damages and coverage of medical bills.
The scene set in the mall features characters Kurt, Santana and Rachel, played by Lea Michele, working as elves for Santa Claus. It aired in the U.S. in December (13).

Actor Miles Teller is reportedly dating model Keleigh Sperry. The Divergent star and Sperry were spotted together at a party at Hakkasan Las Vegas on Saturday (30Aug14), with actresses Nina Dobrev, Jessica Szohr and Jenna Ushkowitz and actor Chace Crawford.
A source tells the New York Post, "Miles couldn't keep his eyes off Keleigh. They were inseparable and looked very in love."

Actress Kristen Bell is set to show off her singing skills again when she leads the cast in an upcoming production of rock musical Hair at the Hollywood Bowl. The Frozen star has been cast opposite Hunter Parrish, Glee stars Amber Riley and Jenna Ushkowitz and movie veteran Beverly D’Angelo in the Tony Award-winning production, which will run for three nights at the fabled Los Angeles venue in August (01-03Aug14).
Hairspray filmmaker Adam Shankman will direct and choreograph the production.

Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz has split from her actor boyfriend Michael Trevino after three years together. The actress confirmed the split during an appearance at a film premiere in California when a photographer asked whether the couple is still together.
She replied, "No, we're not together anymore," according to Usmagazine.com. When offered an apology over the question, she added, "That's okay, no worries... We're wonderful."
Ushkowitz began dating The Vampire Diaries star in 2011.

Glee stars Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison dated years before they became TV student and teacher on the hit show. The singer/actress has confirmed long-standing rumours the couple once dated in her new book Brunette Ambition, after previously insisting the romance stories weren't true.
Michele, who at 27 is eight years younger than Morrison, comes clean as she recalls landing the role of Rachel Berry in the TV musical. In an extract of the new book obtained by Us Weekly, she writes, "When we shot the pilot, I met Cory Monteith, Kevin McHale, Amber Riley, and Chris Colfer for the first time. I had worked on Broadway with Jenna Ushkowitz and Matthew Morrison before. Matt had been a friend of mine for years, and in fact we'd actually dated back in the day for a Broadway beat."
Michele previously insisted she and Morrison were never more than friends and the romance rumours were made up, and he also shot down the rumours of a pre-Glee fling with his co-star in a 2010 Parade interview, stating, "I got a call from my publicist (about it), and she got a call a minute later and we looked at each other like, 'What the f**k?' It's so laughable." Michele went on to date Monteith, who died following a drug overdose last summer (13).

Somebody call Emma Pillsbury, because Gleeks may soon need some counseling: Glee's sixth season will indeed be its last. Creator Ryan Murphy confirmed the news at the Paley Center event on Wednesday night, when he talked about the impact that the death of Cory Monteith and his character Finn Hudson had on the show, saying "The final year of the show, which will be next year, was designed around Rachel and Cory/Finn's story. I always knew that, I always knew how it would end. I knew what the last shot was – he was in it. I knew what the last line was – she said it to him." Murphy and the show's writers are currently trying to figure out how to rework the show around Monteith's absence.
Fans of Finn and Rachel will be pleased to know that they were always meant to be together in the end, and Murphy has promised that the new ending will "honor" Monteith. He's apparently planning to present his new plan to the network next week. Rumors that the show might be coming to an end started appearing around August, when Fox president Kevin Reilly said that they weren't thinking about the show past its sixth season. However, with the death of Monteith looming large over the show and the show's slow decline in popularity and quality, Glee's departure has started to seem inevitable.
With Finn no longer in the picture, fans have been speculating about the new direction the show will be forced to take. A popular theory is that the new ending will center around Kurt Hummel and his on new fiancé Blaine. Since Murphy has previously stated his affection for both characters, this seems like a probable ending. Rachel will most likely end up a big star, and without Finn to return to Lima for, we wouldn't be surprised if her final storyline centered on her career. Hopefully, some of the show's original cast can return again, and the audience can finally get some closure about Mercedes' singing career, Quinn's success at Yale, and what Brittany could possibly be getting up to at MIT. After all, does anyone actually care about the new group of glee club kids? And, in a perfect world, Tina would finally be able to get a plot where she can be successful without everyone around her tearing her down.
No matter what happens, we're sure Miss Pillsbury has some pamphlets that will help Gleeks through this tough time. Maybe something along the lines of "Moving On After Your Favorite TV Show Ends?"

Summary

Jenna Ushkowitz rose to fame by portraying emotionally complex and reclusive characters on stage and on television. After proving herself on Broadway by appearing in award-winning musicals like "Spring Awakening" (2006), Ushkowitz branched out into television and landed a featured role on "Glee" (Fox, 2009- ), one of the most critically acclaimed TV shows of 2009. The musical comedy series followed a ragtag group of glee club members trying to rise above their high school's dramas by become a winning ensemble. Ushkowitz played a skater punk who has the voice of an angel but an annoying stutter. Her character's inner struggles to break out of her shyness fit right in with the show's quirky plots that wove in over-the-top musical and dance numbers. While Ushkowitz played second, sometimes even third, fiddle in the upbeat series, she effortlessly proved that her talent and amazing vocal range belonged on center stage.
